Cryptolocker and backups

Thread needs solution

Can cryptolocker encrypt backups such as acronis , since many of us are using extra drive or added WD drives plugged in all the time will it ruin a acronis back?

Unclear whether TIB files would be a target. Best defense is backups done on offline storage, or online backup services.

Files targeted are those commonly found on most PCs today; a list of file extensions for targeted files include:
3fr, accdb, ai, arw, bay, cdr, cer, cr2, crt, crw, dbf, dcr, der, dng, doc, docm, docx, dwg, dxf, dxg, eps, erf, indd, jpe, jpg, kdc, mdb, mdf, mef, mrw, nef, nrw, odb, odm, odp, ods, odt, orf, p12, p7b, p7c, pdd, pef, pem, pfx, ppt, pptm, pptx, psd, pst, ptx, r3d, raf, raw, rtf, rw2, rwl, srf, srw, wb2, wpd, wps, xlk, xls, xlsb, xlsm, xlsx

TIB is not one of them.
